You and I had seen the open road had the nerve to give it one more go with a car from your old job and my book of songs a Mexican blanket to cover the guitars and the faith of those whose race is not run hey it might get rough out there I know but we can do this take my hand lets go Said you loved to drive through the night drove us up to Michigan alright then the old friend you never thought you’d see again came out in Cleveland, started buying you rounds you toasted freedom but your eyes were looking down I tried to ask “are you alright?” you didn’t answer just drove through the night out on the open road where long shadows show and riders pray for the light we know not to be dyin’ the same old friend showed up in three more towns Letras de cancionesseemed to turn your old nerve around somewhere near Buffalo that old car slowed too much weight too many miles I guess you knew something had to go like a dream your old friend took the wheel left me by the snowbanks with the pain you wouldn’t feel Now sometimes I see you around I can never seem to make a sound I heard you’re working an office job now I’m still out here I don’t always know why I think about you and it darkens my eyes but I guess this life still gives me hope some kind of freedom some kind of rope out on the open road where long shadows show and riders pray for the light we know not to be dyin’ And all us souls wanna turn around And crawl back underground but me I’ll head for the light I’ve found or grow old tryin’ you and I had seen the open road From Letras Mania
